Silchar: NIA Raids Second Link Road, Arrests Nurul Haque in Rs 80 Crore Drug Case

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested a resident of Silchar, Nurul Haque, following a raid at his residence in the Second Link Road area of the city in connection with an alleged drug trafficking case involving around Rs 80 crore.

According to information available, an NIA team conducted the operation at Haque’s residence on Saturday night (14 November) after reportedly searching for him for a considerable period. He was subsequently taken into custody and formally arrested.

Haque is alleged to be involved in a drug trafficking network linked to the Rs 80 crore case. There are also allegations that he had been involved in the illegal drug trade for a long time and accumulated substantial assets through the business. However, these allegations are yet to be officially established.

Following his arrest, the NIA produced Haque before a court in Silchar on Sunday afternoon (15 November). The agency subsequently took him towards Mizoram for further investigation and questioning, according to reports.

Investigators are also reportedly examining whether Haque had any links with militant organisations. However, the NIA has not issued any official statement confirming these alleged connections.

The arrest has triggered considerable attention in Silchar, particularly given the scale of the alleged drug trafficking case and the involvement of the central investigating agency.
